Rafn is excited to be recognized as the Puget Sound Business Journal’s 12th-ranked Best Workplace for medium-sized companies in 2024.
“Each year, the Business Journal surveys Puget Sound-area businesses and organizations to find those that have discovered a winning strategy to creating positive experiences for their employees.”

The application process coincided with the rollout of the refreshed Rafn Company brand to our employees and the public in early 2024. Our rebrand process began in 2023 with client and employee research, asking each to help articulate what is so special about Rafn. The Best Workplaces application again reached out to employees, this time to ask why Rafn is a great place to work.
“The surveys allow our people to provide honest feedback about the company: how they are treated, how they are growing, and what they need to do to continue progressing in their careers.”

The official ceremony where the rankings were announced took place at T-Mobile Park in August. Four Rafn employees were on hand to receive our award on behalf of the company: Chip Gregory (President & COO), Marc Victor (CFO), Nick Collins (Human Resources Manager), and Erika Orstad (Marketing Assistant).
“We are thrilled to have been recognized as one of the best places to work in 2024. The Rafn Company builds much more than buildings; we build our people. And when our people succeed, our company succeeds. The foundation of everything we do is our people, and this recognition is all about them.”

When people come to work at the Rafn Company, they tend to stay for the long haul. It is a testament to our ability to find great people, give them what they need to develop in their careers, and let them excel at what they do. The benefit to our clients is that our knowledge base stays with the company, and in fact, it grows over time. Part of what we love about our long-tenured staff is seeing what the next generation will accomplish in the years ahead.
“One of our new brand promises speaks directly to the great people who are the Rafn Company: Tenure Sets Us Apart. It is amazing how many people choose to spend their careers at Rafn.”
Steve Buerk – Rafn Company Director of Business Development & Preconstruction
Ultimately, we believe in matching each of our employees to the specific projects where their competencies and interests best fit. This allows our people to perform at their best to build outstanding quality and value for our clients in a fun and collaborative atmosphere. And we are deeply appreciative of our people for that.
